Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was the center of attention at the Padma awards investiture on Monday at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
From the time SRK took his seat among award winners, King Khan, attired in a crisp black suit, became the focus of camera crews positioned across the opulent Durbar Hall of the presidential palace.
The only time he got any reprieve from signing autographs was while receiving the Padma Shree from President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
The cameras chased him as he got up to rescue his wife Gauri (dressed in an electric blue designer creation) from the backseats to the front rows along with ministers.
SRK courteously greeted Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress president Sonia Gandhi and cabinet ministers attending the function. External Affairs Minister K. Natwar Singh was among politicians who greeted Shah Rukh.
"Wonderful, I feel just wonderful," he said with a set smile, patiently answering the oft-repeated media query about how he felt. "I am thrilled."
"I need to work harder to be deserving of this award..." he said.
